Welcome back to the thirty-third episode of the Financial Advisor Success podcast!
My guest on today’s podcast is Jeff Rose. Jeff is the founder of Alliance Wealth Management, a solo financial planning firm with just one support advisor that oversees more than $40 million in client assets in Carbondale Illinois, a rural town of just 5,000 people.
What’s fascinating about Jeff’s advisory business, though, is not just that he’s been able to successfully grow his firm in an area with a far more limited natural market than being in a dense metropolitan city, but that recognizing the constraints of his local geography, Jeff decided to develop an online blogging strategy to get more prospects. And after 9 months of toiling away with nothing to show for it, he landed his first “digital” client – a widow with $2M who had simply Googled “certified financial planner in Illinois” – and become obsessed with digital marketing. Nearly 10 years later, Jeff’s online marketing efforts have been so successful, he’s generating more than $100,000 per month in revenue from his online efforts, and is powering leads not only to his own advisory firm, but is also providing a high volume referrals to an outside insurance business for people who just need term insurance, as well as referring additional prospects to a number of other financial services firms as well.
In this episode, Jeff talks about how he built his digital marketing platform, the setbacks he’s had along the way, and how it powers his advisory firm, which he has made so efficient that he’s able to spend only 1-2 days per week to keep it running, with a combination of Redtail CRM, Blueleaf, InStream Wealth, and Slack, while he continues to leverage his blogging platform to grow new revenue streams.
And be certain to listen to the end, when Jeff talks about the major move he’s about to make – literally, moving over 150 miles away from his own advisory firm – where he goes for inspiration and new ideas, and why, despite or perhaps because of his financial success, his primary focus is now on getting even more efficient about the work that he does, so that he can spend more time with his four kids as well.
And so whether you’ve been curious to know what it takes to successfully build a blog and digital marketing presence that generates new clients, or want to see how success online can bring new opportunities beyond just the advisory business alone, or simply want a glimpse into a hyper-efficient solo advisor’s firm, I hope you enjoy this episode of the Financial Advisor Success podcast!
